Interests
My primary research interest lies in developing statistical methodologies for analyzing complex random data objects, which can be interpreted as random elements in topological or metric spaces. These types of data frequently arise in fields such as medical imaging. My aim is to contribute to the theoretical underpinnings of these methods and to design efficient algorithms for their practical application.
To date, my research has largely focused on Functional Data Analysis, for analysing samples of curves (mathematical functions). Key areas of my work include graphical models, dimension reduction, quantile regression, causal inference for functional data, and distributional data analysis, where the data comprises samples of distributions or densities.
